Q3 of 45 Page 68

Show that if a straight line is perpendicular to one of the two or more parallel lines, then it is also perpendicular to the remaining lines.



Let GH intersect AB and CD at L and M respectively. Since GH is perpendicular to AB. We have GLA = 90°. GH is also perpendicular to CD. Thus GMC = 90° . we get GLA = GMC = 90°. Thus the lines are parallel. And angles are corresponding angle. Since CD is also parallel with EF. Hence GNE = 90°. Hence it is perpendicular to all other lines in the same way.
